Abstract Background: Foxp3 has been suggested to be a standard marker for murine Tregs whereas its role as marker for human Tregs is controversial. While some reports have shown that human Foxp3+ T cells had no regulatory function others have shown their role in the inhibition of T cell proliferation. Methods: T cell activation was performed by means of brayostatin-1/ionomycin (B/I), mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR), and CD3/CD28 activation. T cell proliferation was performed using BrdU and CFSE staining. Flow cytometry was performed to determine Foxp3 expression, cell proliferation, viabilities and phenotype analyses of T cells. Results: Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells expressed Foxp3 upon activation in vitro. Expression of Foxp3 remained more stable in CD4+CD25+ T cells compared to that in CD8+CD25+ T cells. The CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells expressed CD44 and CD62L, showing their effector and memory phenotypes. Both FoxP3- responder T cells and CD4+FoxP3+ T cells underwent proliferation upon CD3/CD28 activation. Conclusion: Expression of Foxp3 does not necessarily convey regulatory function in human CD4+CD25+ T cells. Increased FoxP3 on CD44+ effector and CD44+CD62L+ memory T cells upon stimulation suggest the activation-induced regulation of FoxP3 expression. including massive lymphoproliferation, diabetes, exfolia- Background In mice, scurfy mutation in forkhead/winged helix tran- tive dermatitis, thyroiditis and enteropathy.

T cells were isolated from healthy volunteers and split into two groups. Control group remained unactivated and cultured in the presence of IL-2 for 3 days (A; top panel) and another group was acti- vated with B/I for 16 h and cultured in the presence of IL-2 for 3 days (A; middle panel) or 6 days (A; bottom panel). Absolute numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells on pooled samples were determined on days 0, 3, and 6 post-culture by flow cytometry analysis (B). Expression of FoxP3 and CD25 were determined in freshly isolated CD4+ T cells (day 0) and after a 3-day stimu- lation with anti-CD3/CD28 Abs (C). Freshly isolated and B/I-activated T cells were subjected to flow cytometry to determine T cell phenotypes (D; top panel); Foxp3+ effector and memory T cells were determined in gated CD4+Foxp3+ cells or gated CD8+Foxp3+ cells (D; bottom panel).

In addition, both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells showed FoxP3high expression following activation compared to FoxP3low expression on day 0 (Fig. 1D, mid- dle and bottom panels). All CD4+Foxp3+ T cells expressed CD44 among which 80% also expressed CD62L (Fig. 1D, middle panel, far right). These data show that 20% of CD4+Foxp3+ T cells are effector and 80% are memory phenotypes. A similar phenotypic trend was detected for CD8+Foxp3+ T cells, showing 100% CD44+ of which 67% were CD62L+ T cells (Fig. 1D, bottom panel, far right). These results show that 33% of CD8+Foxp3+ T cells are effector and 67% are memory phenotypes. Data presented in Figs. 1A-D suggest that increased expression of FoxP3high in effector T cells was due to the cell differentiation rather than cell prolifera- tion, because relative percent of CD44+CD62L- effector T cells decreased after B/I activation. Similar mechanism may exist in memory T cells because of the expression of FoxP3high after activation compared to FoxP3low on day 0. Activation-induced FoxP3 expression in CD4+ T cells fails to convey regulatory function in vitro T cells were labeled with CFSE and stimulated with anti- CD3 (1 ug/ml) and anti-CD28 (1 ug/ml) Abs in the pres- ence or absence of the B/I-activated CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ T cells (2:1 and 20:1 responder:suppressor ratios) for 3 days. Flow cytometry analysis showed similar rates of pro- liferation of gated CD8+ T cells in the absence or presence of inducible FoxP3+ T cells (Fig. 2A, 60% vs. 61% and 65%). The CD3/CD28 activation also induced FoxP3 expression in responder CD4+ T cells. Gated CD4+FpxP3+ T cells also showed 70-75% proliferation upon activation (Fig. 2A). Analysis of T cell apoptosis revealed similar rates of apoptosis in responder T cells in the absence or presence of CD4+FoxP3+ T cells (Fig. 2B, 57% vs. 57 and 59%). Majority of the B/I-activated CD4+FoxP3+ T cells (74-76%) were found to be apoptotic during anti-CD3/CD28 activation in co-culture with responder T cells. Figure 2 T cell proliferation in the presence of inducible CD4+FoxP3+ cells T cell proliferation in the presence of inducible CD4+FoxP3+ T cells. To perform a co-culture suppres- sion assay, responder T cells were labeled with CFSE and cul- tured in the absence or presence of different ratios of inducible FoxP3+ T cells (20:1 and 2:1) for 3 days in the pres- ence of anti-CD3/CD28 Abs. Gated CD8+ T cells showed Figure 2 CFSE dilution (A, left panel). Responder CD4+ T cells that expressed FoxP3 due to a 3-day activation were also gated and analyzed for CFSE dilution (A, right panel). Cells obtained from a co-culture suppression assay (A, left panel) were also stained for Annexin V in order to determine apop- tosis in responder CD8+ T cells (B, left panel) and the B/I- activated CD4+FoxP3+ T cells (B, right panel).
